"Chancellor Phillip Hammond’s claim that tackling the climate crisis by cutting the UK’s emissions to zero would be too expensive is exactly the narrow-minded economic thinking that people have come to accept in British politics. Increasingly there is a divide between political elites in the UK, who prioritise all-costs growth, and ordinary people, who are beginning to realise that we need to act now to avert environmental catastrophe. For the first time polling has shown concerns about the environment are cited as more important than those of the economy or immigration."
